Pragmatic Dictator

I really like this interview with DHH.

Just listen to what he has to say about mainstream and the compromises that brings. And then think about what’s happening to the Java platform and the prevailing attitudes that drive the likes of J2EE.

And then see if you still wonder why these “upstart technologies” are gaining ground. There’s a lot of good stuff in here around pragmatic thinking, design philosophy and industry behaviours.

Doesn’t matter what your favourite programming languages are, this interview stands watching a number of times.

Oh, and the secret to Rails’ success?  DHH, not Ruby not Web 2.0.
